Hi mylotters, I want to deactivate my Facebook account because my husband always scrutinized contains of my wall. If he sees something does not good for his taste of cup of coffee he called me and advice me to check what is on my wall eventhough he knows that the post was just shared. I even restrained myself from commenting because everything he saw on my wall will be depended from my husband naked eyes although he talked with low tone. So I decided to better deactivate my Facebook account now. How about you mylotters have you experiences the same as mine?

Set your setting, maybe you have so much friends and of course your wall will be flooded by your friends' friends' friends posts, see you got three links already, and how many friends each link has.However,you can deactivate it if you want to and make a new account with new e-mail address and see to it that you will limit or choose your friends under that account. But friend, you have your purpose to widen your reach, because you want most of all to share to everybody the words of God and how can you do that if you will limit yourself to those who already knew you. Why not instead delete immediately their post which you think might not be acceptable to your husband, I think that is better that to deactivate it. I myself, I transfer all nice, beautiful posts to my wall from the news feeds and so my wall is full of mostly inspiring quotes,videos,earning links.

Just try to see which is always right to do and do not jump into a decision which will hurt your friends, immediately delete their post if you think that it will not be likened by your husband.

Hi friend You know, I was disappointed and blaming myself, why on earth I created groups from my account which made my account very public now. Don't worry friend I start working for my friend list, I tagged "restricted" those who are not really my friend and "unsubscribed" for those who were not my closed friends, in order to minimize posts to my wall and to have control from my account too. I try to do your advice my friend. Thanks a lot and I miss you! Take care always. God bless us all!

I would never deactivate my Facebook at the request of a man. He seems like he's trying to control everything you do...It seems very volatile. I would only deactivate my account if I, personally, did not want to access the site anymore. He needs to stop hounding on you and pay attention to other things. You are your own person and don't deserve such an attitude from him. He needs to trust you.

Hi liblondiemjd, In fairness to my husband, he has not controlling me anyway, what he wants is, I could not post inappropriate or the like in my wall, just like the big cross as background of the beautiful quotes which I "likes" and share the link at the same time. It was really a big mistake because I did not notice the sign I was impressed on the quotes. Don't worry my friend my husband trusted me so much. He just don't want seeing my account as he called it "messy", lol. Thanks and God bless!

Don't deactivate your Facebook just for anyone. I think you should talk to him. Understand what makes him do such things. Maybe he's jealous or insecure. Understand him and reassure him and talk about how to solve this problem. A good communication is the solution to this problem.

Facebook is just a social networking site. So why would your husband think that way. I just don't know if its good but I find it pathetic. Actually, its not your fault if others would post anything from your wall. It's them who posted it. So why would your husband always stalk your wall. Well then, its good to stalk but you should have your freedom on your profile, it's yours. Deactivating your account may be the best way to avoid any conflict with your husband but please don't make it a habit that you just need to restrain yourself from doing a thing just because of your husband. I just think that your husband is over you. I think it's not good. This is only based on what I perceived or believe. You can also ignore this thoughts of mine.

Hi karstine, You are right, Facebook is just a social networking site. We should not take seriously what is in it. In fairness to my husband, he did not view as often my account, his friends told him about what something in my wall. My defense mechanism is that what you have said "It's them who posted it." You were wrong in your thought that my husband over me because I, whom over him, lol. Thank you and have a nice day!

Hello there, For anyone who registers/has registered on any social networking site, there has to be basic understanding from the spouse that the other person is there for the good things. For sharing and reading interesting thoughts and updates. I think the user [lets say you] has to carefully manage settings by fully familiarizing on the features so that you control everything from whether your profile will be shared publicly or with selected people and several other privacy settings. After all the Facebook social space is a mirror of the real world-in real world also there are all kinds of people and when you are moving about in public, some nasty behavior by freaks can happen. If you can manage your settings well and keep your wall an open page, and your husband can demonstrate understanding that you are in control, then there is no issue in continuing. Another option could be to ask him also to open a Facebook account. When both are active on the same social networking profile, it may help eliminate understanding gaps. If nothing helps, you may have to deactivate just to reassure your husband. If he realizes some time later that it was a folly, you may always revive or open another!

It sounds like a trust issue, either with you or him. Facebook is just a tool to keep in touch with friends, it should not be a place to air dirty laundry, talk about personal issues with your spouse or significant other. You can deactivate your account but it won't erase your posts. If you want to delete it because you feel uncomfortable you can do that. Talk to your husband and see what the problem is.

Hi gelegagui, That is not fare. Sites like mylot or facebook, twitter have their own gravty. Once you are on them it is very much possible that some users write something flirting natured content and that should be tken sportingly. I have several friends across the globe and they are both men and women. When I show a picture of my friend suppose from Canada and also taken that that is a woman/girl. My wife does not mind as long as I I do not step into the muds. Try to make your husband or if that remains an everlasting issue better withdraw and hang around mylot ok the like site.

Hi krajibg, yes you are right post that sometimes something of that flirting natured that shared by my friends the last time was, I impressed on a nice quote and I did not notice the picture of a big cross in it. That's it I committed a big mistake again because we are not using cross and according to him , his friends saw it and they laugh at him about it. The truth, I did not spend more of my times in Facebook, if friends see me online I was in mylot most of the time.

My grandma used to do the same thing with me. She was always commenting that I had a lot of "lady friends" and that some of my content wasn't appropriate, so I blocked her. but if it was my wife doing it, I probably wouldn't block her. that would cause a lot of issues.

Hi authographman, Welcome to mylot! I don't know what to say for those people like my husband they were paying serious attention on what is posted in Facebook account wherein everybody should enjoy because some post are matured nature content but those are just for fun! and besides it was shared link. So sometimes Facebook is good because you keep in touch with your friends and relatives all over the world but sometimes it is a caused of dilemma too. As my husband always says..."Be careful!",lol. Gob bless!
